Sunday was the final day of the 2016 U20 FIBA European Championship, and it was an outstanding ending for both Spain and Italy.
Yankuba Sima and Spain captured the tournament title with a 68-55 victory over Lithuania. Marc Garcia scored 21 points for Spain, while Francisco Alonso put up another solid offensive performance by dropping 11 points. Lithuania's 16 turnovers had a profound impact on the game, especially in the second half when Garcia got hot on the offensive end.
Congrats to my bro @Yankusima for winning European Championship with Spain, a little bit of @StJohnsBBall in this gold medal
